Beautiful area to explore, woods and marsh and prairie.

Beautiful preserved area. 🙂

It’s a nice place. Fishing is okay better from a boat rather than standing on shore.

Cute trail that is about 0.6 miles long. Went in early April and enjoyed the many types of ducks we saw.

I like it for fishing, and public hunting is possible. Well maintained paths around and through the area, allowing access to a few water ponds. And a small mossy lake. I know good spot for pan fish, and bull heads.
